Tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine. In human, TNF ? gene is located within the highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex(MHC) region on chromosome 6p21.3. TNF gene cluster contains many polymorphisms including microsatellites and single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs).Many of these polymorphisms were found to be in linkage disequilibrium with HLA class Ⅰand Ⅱ alleles. Some of the TNF ? gene polymorphisms were found to influence TNF ? production in vitro , for example the 308SNP. Many studies have shown that this SNP and others within the TNF ? gene associate with different inflammatory conditions. Whether this phenomenon is due to the direct influence if the SNP in question and/or due to linkage disequilibrium with other polymorphisms within the TNF ? gene or the HLA system is still controversial.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of lipids disorder in patients with diabetes and the relationship of lipids disorder with sex and hypertension.Methods Totally 2 545 diabetic patients were analyzed for their different lipids disorder based on the clinical data.Results In the group of diabetic patients,1 663 cases were found with lipids disorder (65.3%),and females and males with lipids disorder were 69.6% and 61.9% respectively (P

One hundred elderly patients with hyperthyroidism were enrolled in a paired design study.The outcome of ~(131)Ⅰand antithyroid drug(ATD)treatments was examined after 2 years.The results showed that ~(131)Ⅰcould be recognized as the safer,more convenient and effective treatment than ATD for the elderly patients with hyperthyroidism.

BACKGROUND: It remains unclear whether proinflammatory factor, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), γ-interferon and anti-inflammatory cytokine, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10), interleukin-4 (IL-4) levels can change after laryngeal transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To explore the expression of TNF-α and IL-10 in different expressive tissue layers and its relationship during the acute rejection episodes, and to evaluate the role of TNF-α and IL-10 levels in serum for prediction of early acute rejection after laryngeal transplantation. METHODS: Laryngeal heterotopic transplantations were performed in Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats. According to different dosages of immunodepressant, all recipients were divided into three groups: Group 0 mg, Group 5 mg, and Group 10 mg. Untreated Sprague-Dawley rats served as normal control group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Changes in serum TNF-α and IL-10 levels at postoperation days 3, 7 and 11 were positively correlated with these expressions in the epithelium mucosa and submucosa at various time points after transplantation. These indicate that the high-antigenicity of graft mainly concentrates on the layers of mucosa and submucosa. TNF-α and IL-10 concentrations can serve as indexes for predicting acute rejection after laryngeal transplantation.

Objective To observe the phosphorylation level and nuclear translocation of signal transducer and activator of transcription factor-3 (STAT3) in hippocampal neurons induced by oxygen and glucose deprivation in vitro and discuss the dynamic changes of STAT3 signal pathway in an in vitro cell model of brain hypoxia and ischemia.Methods Hippocampal neurons from newly born SD rats (within 24 hours from birth) were cultured with DMEM/F12 for nine days,and then were transferred to oxygen and glucose deprivation environment for four hours to establish experimental cell models.The distribution of phosphorylated STAT3 (p-STAT3) in the hippocampal neurons in different groups was observed under laser scanning confocal microscope after immunofluorescence staining.Expression intensity of p-STAT3 at different time points after oxygen and glucose deprivation in the hippocampal neurons was detected by Western blotting.Results Expression of p-STAT3 was unobvious in the nucleus of the control group,but it was observed in the nucleus of the model group one hour after modeling,and peaked at three hour.Expression levels of p-STAT3 in the hippocampal neurons at each time point between the two groups showed significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Oxygen and glucose deprivation induces noticeable up-regulation of p-STAT3 in the hippocampal neuronal nucleus,which indicates the overactivation of signal transduction pathway of STAT3.

AlM: To observe the therapeutic effects of improved external dacryocystorhinostomy.
METHODS:Retrospective analysis on 94 patients with monocular chronic dacryocystitis in our hospital from October 2010 to December 2013 were taken the improved external dacryocystorhinostomy. The improved surgery which was based on the traditional surgery including: 1. Nasal packing after anesthesia to relieve the pain and bleeding; 2. Not cut the medial palpebral ligament; 3. Suture the upper membrane of the nasal mucosa only;4. Pipe placement;5. Skin layered hairdressing suture. The patients were follow-up 3mo-2a after operation.
RESULTS: Ninety-three cases of patients cured with completely asymptomatic, no epiphora or mucopurulent secretion flow out from the lacrimal punctum, unobstructed lacrimal irrigation, the efficiency is 99%, 1 case of patient was epiphora, obstructed lacrimal irrigation, 1% was invalid.
CONCLUSlON:The improved external dacryocystorhinostomy is an effective surgical method which is easy to operate with high cure rate and its long term effect is precise.
